The African bush is breathtaking, wild, peaceful and vast. Arm yourself with your camera and a keen eye and you will be abundantly rewarded. While there are a lot of safari group tours to fixed destinations on offer, we at Africa Wild Safaris like to do things differently. We believe that personalised service is what creates the most memorable moments, which is why offer you the opportunity to tell us what you would enjoy and then we design the ultimate Bush Safari tailored to your lifestyle. That’s why when you go with Africa Wild Safaris you know you’re going to the most out of your very precious time away.

ABOUT THE SAFARIS/ADVENTURES

While we know that everyone has different needs we have found that our 2 standard routes to Sun City and the Kruger National Park are extremely popular. We are in business to show you what you want to see, not what we think you should see. You’re the boss and this is your ultimate Africa Safari
